My Clipboard

By admin, on March 6th, 2009

Since you’ve seen my notebook, I thought you might want to see my clipboard.

We are a clipboard family when it comes to school. I keep three of them loaded with clean notebook paper at all times. They sit in our two school shelves. When I assign something, it’s easy for the kids to grab a clipboard and get started. A clipboard can be taken to any chair or table; it’s easy to work with.

But I wanted my OWN clipboard, especially for when we are all working together, like reading Hamlet, or talking about history, or discussing spelling words or grammar. I keep my clipboard with me when I am reading a bedtime story with Princess of the Universe. My clipboard is even with me when I am working.

Why?

Because constantly things pop into my mind that I want to discuss later, like the other day when I was thinking of the words ORDNANCE and ORDINANCE and wanting to see if Joe could spell them correctly. Or we’ll cover something that I think we need to go back to, but it’s not something I want to stop and research at that very minute. An example would be the Namean lion mentioned in Hamlet. I make a quick note on my clipboard and I know the idea won’t be forgotten later.

Did you see my clipboard is pink? BRIGHT pink? It cannot get mixed up with another clipboard.
